The Mark Rapp Sextet

Let’s go to Brasil! Enjoy an evening of bossa novas as we celebrate the music of Astrud Gilberto and more! Born March 29, 1940, Astrud Gilberto was a Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer. She became well known in the 1960s for her performance of the song “The Girl from Ipanema”. She had a long time personal and musical relationship with the famous American saxophonist Stan Getz.

The incomparable vocalist Cat Galan is a phenomenal talent you don’t want to miss! She and the young lion saxophonist Jack Johnson, a senior at Wando high school, will play the roles of Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz.
